I took Advanced Spells 602 with Professor Dumbledore. It is an exceptionally hard class, but Dumbledore is a good professor. He's open to many questions and is very patient.

Such a bad teacher. He rambles on and only speaks in riddles. I can't understand anything he says. He plays serious favorites, he only pays attention to three or four students a year. He put students at risk over the years, several almost got killed. He just doesn't want to share his wisdom with the students.

Professor Dumbledore is an expert in Transfiguration. He is kind of a big deal in the greater wizarding community, but he really loves teaching us students most. He expects a lot out of his students, but genuinely wants to see us succeed. Prepare to learn a ton and work really hard, but to enjoy the process.

Professor Dumbledore really changed my life. Cliche, yes, but its true. Despite my. . . complicated past. . .and resistance to his wisdom, he believed in me, eventually guiding me to believe in myself. Despite his eccentricity, and caring nature, he does not go easy on the grading, and expects a lot. Dumbledore is a wonderful professor.

I heard he was awesome, so I took him, but.. let's just say, if you're not a Gryffindor, he won't even bother to learn your name. I'm a Ravenclaw, and he had to ask who I was every time I asked a question. Don't get me wrong, his lectures are amazing and full of interesting stories, but you'll have to work 20x harder for an A if you're not a Gryff.

Good teacher, but you can't take everything he says too literally. The man basically speaks in riddles and Shakespeare. He's caring, but he gets pretty invested in students at times. It was helpful for me, possibly annoying for others.

I'll probably say is one of my favorite professors in the school. And I think something to do related with the subject. Defend against the dark arts is one of the subjects at you will need for your further life. The teachers give clear directions and chance to practice the spells. He is, but definitely there is an advantage if you are positive.

Dumbledore is awesome! He always listens to the needs of his students. He even offers me lemon drops every time I visit during his office hours. Dumbledore is one of a kind, but just dont put your name in the goblet of fire cuz hell go bananas! Plus Ive heard we Gryffindors are a shoe in for the House Cup this year!! Fingers crossed!

Professor Dumbledore perhaps is the most excellent professor Ive ever had! Hes very thoughtful and kind, although he may exhibit his strictness sometimes. However, I noticed he liked my classmate Potter more, thats why Potter was the only student to pass the course with A+. I enjoyed taking MAGC101, and want to be like Prof Dumbledore one day.

A wise soul that's always willing to help a confused student. Despite his history with Potter, his teachings were consistent and he did his best for every student. Can be a little intimidating at first, being the headmaster and all, but is chill once you get to know him better.

shows massive favoritism. if you're not in griffindor and not named harrison potter or some sort, ur not gonna get a good grade. i'm in slytherin and we were about to win the house cup fair and square. i dont mind adding points for heroism, i rly dont, but it gets annoying when griffindors get points for the smallest things. be aware. good luck.
